  • TV, film production companies to leave NC over LGBT law

    Charlotte Observer ^ | April 1, 2016 | Colin Campbell
    Lionsgate and the A+E network say they won’t film TV shows and movies in North Carolina if the state doesn’t repeal its new LGBT law. Along with Fox, Miramax and The Weinstein Company, the entertainment producers have voiced opposition to House Bill 2, which replaces local ordinances with a statewide nondiscrimination law that doesn’t include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected categories.

    Just in case you forgot in the haze of Batman and Superman not being best friends, 20th Century Fox has released a new TV spot to remind you that Independence Day: Resurgence is coming this summer and with it, the second wave of alien invaders who nearly destroyed planet earth in the original film back in 1996. The new teaser leans heavily on the returning stars of the original film. There’s Bill Pullman’s former President Thomas Whitmore interfacing with the aliens. There’s Jeff Goldblum’s David Levinson being exactly as deadpan and snarky as you require. There’s even Brent Spiner, who...

    --SNIP-- Forty years have elapsed since a washed-up minor league pitcher-turned-pool cleaner named Morris Buttermaker first pulls his convertible Cadillac (no trunk cover) into the parking lot of a Little League baseball diamond early in the morning in the movie's opening scene, pops open a can of Budweiser, pours some Jim Beam bourbon into the beer for good measure, smokes a cheap stogie (courtesy of a light from Kelly Leak), and agrees to manage the lowly Bears in the ultra competitive North Valley League, at the urging of a city councilman and much to the disgust of Roy Turner (Vic...

Wachowski walked the red carpet in Beverly Hills, California, Saturday evening in a floor-length black gown.

    Miley Cyrus has heard enough from Donald Trump, apparently. But is her latest outburst simply a cry for attention?The shock-obsessed singer dashed off an angry social media missive earlier this week. She blasted the GOP front-runner for being a misogynist ... and more.“Trump can’t stop won’t stop saying stupid ass sexist s—,” the singer wrote via her Instagram account. “Comparing two women! Are you f—ing kidding! We will not allow you to destroy everything we have overcome as women! I feel as though we are stronger than ever as a unit.”Was anyone breathlessly waiting for Cyrus to weigh in...

    The Martian was one of the biggest hits of 2015, and was nominated for tons of year-end awards. But being as it's set in space and in the near future, we thought it best to bring back Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson to help us separate this movie's sins from its wins.

  • No Self-Respecting Adult should Buy Comics or Watch Superhero Movies

    The Telegraph ^ | March 28, 2016 | Rhymer Rigby
    Another month, another superhero movie staggers to the silver screen, lurching under the weight of its own self-importance, groaning with the expectations of fans, and burdened with a nine-figure marketing budget. I am, of course, talking about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, to give it its full, clunkingly portentous title. Can we all please grow up? Can we acknowledge that Marvel and DC have scraped right though the bottom of the barrel? Can we call time on superhero films? Films which are too dark for kids the comics were originally written for, yet too dumb for any thinking adult.

  • Looking back on the madness and chaos of “Blue Velvet”

    Salon ^ | 3/26/2016 | Dennis Lim
    David Lynch’s films have rarely fared well at test screenings, and Blue Velvet triggered some of the worst early reactions of his career. One response card read: “David Lynch should be shot.” (Producer) Dino De Laurentiis was unfazed, but the negative feedback lowered expectations considerably, which may have worked to Lynch’s advantage. When Blue Velvet opened on September 19, 1986, in fifteen American cities, some of the most influential critics were effusive in their praise. J. Hoberman proclaimed it “a film of ecstatic creepiness” and lauded its “boldly alien perspective” in the Village Voice. In the Chicago Tribune, Dave Kehr...

    Seth Myers whom likes to tell derogatory jokes against conservatives, but then tries to balance the political content by telling cute jokes about liberals revealed his newborn son's name on his 3/29/16 show. Poor kid..., Seth indicated his son's name is Ash Olson (might be spell wrong here) but when he said it fast it sounds like he names his newborn boy "A$$ hole son". Way to go Seth. Way to be jokingly witty and not even know it.

    James Noble, the actor best known for his role as the absent-minded governor on the hit 1980s sitcom “Benson,” died on Monday at Norwalk Hospital in Connecticut. He was 94. His death was confirmed by Douglas Moser, a spokesman for the family, who said that Mr. Noble, who lived in Norwalk, had a stroke last week. From 1979 to 1986, Mr. Noble played Eugene Gatling, the well-meaning but somewhat bumbling governor of an unnamed state, on the ABC series “Benson.”

    Just thinking about the I Love Lucy episode where Lucy worked on an assembly line in a candy factory brings a smile to my face. Remembering the family spirit and wholesomeness of other shows like Father Knows Best, Leave It to Beaver, and The Donna Reed Show still warms my heart. These classic television programs made us laugh and cry without the sex and violence that is so commonly associated with television today. No wonder the interest in TV nostalgia is growing by leaps and bounds. Many of us enjoy revisiting the quality programs from the 50's, 60's, and 70's....
